Abstract

A roof part mounted movably by means of a bearing device on a bearing slide, which is mounted in a manner such that it can be shifted on a guide of the vehicle roof and can be displaced along the guide by means of a drive, wherein, for improved adjustment of the movable roof part, the roof part can be displaced relative to the bearing slide by means of an additional controllable adjusting device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A roof part of an openable vehicle roof, which is mounted movably by means of a bearing device on a bearing slide which is mounted in a manner such that it can be shifted on a guide of the vehicle roof and can be displaced along the guide by means of a drive, characterized in that the roof part can be displaced relative to the bearing slide by means of an additional controllable adjusting device; and
 characterized in that the adjusting device has its own actuator or can be actuated by the drive of the bearing slide by means of a controllable adjusting mechanism. 
 
   
   
     2. A roof part of an openable vehicle roof, which is mounted movably by means of a bearing device on a bearing slide which is mounted in a manner such that it can be shifted on a guide of the vehicle roof and can be displaced along the guide by means of a drive, characterized in that the roof part can be displaced relative to the bearing slide by means of an additional controllable adjusting device; characterized in that the roof part is mounted movably on the bearing slide ( 14 ) by means of a link device, and the adjusting device is coupled to one of the links. 
   
   
     3. The roof part of  claim 2 , characterized in that the adjusting device has a sliding component which is guided along a guide track and is in engagement with the bearing device of the roof part and at a control slot of the link, and in that, by means of a relative movement of the sliding component in relation to the bearing slide, the link is pivoted on the bearing slide. 
   
   
     4. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that the drive of the bearing slide and the adjusting device can be controlled in such a manner that, in at least one position of the bearing slide, the roof part can be adjusted in its vertical position and in its pivoted position. 
   
   
     5. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that the drive and the adjusting device can be controlled in such a manner that the roof part can be displaced into a defined position while the bearing slide is at rest and also while it is moving. 
   
   
     6. A roof part of an openable vehicle roof, which is mounted movably by means of a bearing device on a bearing slide which is mounted in a manner such that it can be shifted on a guide of the vehicle roof and can be displaced along the guide by means of a drive, characterized in that the roof part can be displaced relative to the bearing slide by means of an additional controllable adiusting device; characterized in that the drive and the adjusting device are respectively connected to the bearing slide and the sliding component by means of a respective compression-resistant driving cable. 
   
   
     7. The roof part of  claim 6 , characterized in that the guide rail has a lower guide track for the driving cable of the bearing slide and an upper guide track for the sliding component and the driving cable thereof. 
   
   
     8. The roof part of  claim 7 , characterized in that the upper guide track is lowered in its front track section relative to the guide of the bearing slide. 
   
   
     9. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that the roof part is a front bow or a roof peak. 
   
   
     10. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that at least two of these roof parts are mounted on the guide and can be displaced by the drive and the adjusting device. 
   
   
     11. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that the roof is a displaceable folding top of a convertible. 
   
   
     12. The roof part of  claim 1 , characterized in that the roof is a lamella roof, and in that the at least one roof part is a lamella of said roof.
